RICHARD J. NEIVMAN, OF NORXVICH, KANSAS.

CUFF-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 394,206, dated December 11, 1888.

Application filed August 18, 1888. Serial No. 283,112- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, RICHARD J. NEWMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Nor- Wieh, in the county of Kingman and State of Kansas, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cult-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a simple, cheap, durable, easily-operated, and secure cuff-holder, which may be applied to any cuff and will hold the same in the desired position without danger of being detached.

The invention consists in a certain novel construction and arrangement of parts, fully set forth hereinafter in connection with the accompanying drawings, and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a view of the holder applied in the operative position to a cuit. Fig. 2 is a central sectional view of the same, showing the manner of attaching the cuff to the band of the shirt. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of the holder.

Referring by letter to the drawings, A designates a cuff, in the outer button-hole of which is arranged the cuff-button B, and C designates the wristband, Fig. 2, of the shirt, (not shown,) in the button-holes of which is arranged the shirt-button D.

E designates the holder, which consists of the plate F, provided at its outer end with a notch, f, engaging the shank of the cuif-button, and bent upon itself at its inner end to form the arm G, which is provided with a central longitudinal slot, g.

A swinging button, H, is connected by a loose link, I, to the inner end of the plate on the opposite side to the slotted arm.

The holder is applied to the cult by engaging the notch in the end of the main plate with the shank of the cuff-button and engaging the swinging button in the inner buttonholes of the cult. It will be seen that in this position the slotted arm extends outwardly, with the open end of the slot at the free end of the arm.

To apply the cuft to the shirt, pass the former over the sleeve of the latter, and after engaging the open end. of the slot in the arm with the shank of the sleeve-button draw the cuff outward until it is checked by the inner end of the slot striking against the shank of the sleeve-button. To remove the cuff from the shirt, draw the former backward until the slot is disengaged from the sleeve-button, and then, after turning the cuff, draw it outward.

The advantages of this invention will be readily appreciated. The holder is entirely concealed within the cuff, and therefore cannot catch the coat or other garments. The cuff cannot be detached by a direct outward pull. The shirt is not engaged, and therefore cannot be torn or injured by a strain on the cuff.

Having described my invention, I claim 1. In a cuff-holder, the main plate provided with a notch at one end to engage the outer cuff-button and a button to engage the inner button-holes of the cuft, and the slotted arm to engage the sleeve-button, substantially as specified.

The herein-described cuff-holder, comprising the main plate provided at its outer end with a notch, f, and bent upon itself at its inner end to form the arm G, which is provided with a longitudinal slot, g, and the loose button mounted on the inner end of the main plate to engage the inner button-holes of the cuff, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto aifixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

RICHARD J. NEIVMAN.
